Hi, im writing an extended essay of that title and I am in need of suggestions asto what I can put in it. I have already talked about the first use of cg in film (who framed roger rabbit included!) and talked about Craig's digital form of matte painting but I need more on the possible directions it could take, weird ideas like "in the future all films will have completely computer generated casts and you'll be able to watch the film as it is projected directly into the back of your eye via a small shiny implant" - stupid ideas included!  Cheers!

Movies are already projected directly to the back of our eye.
Time had a really good atricle on CGI in movies. The first real cgi in a feature-length movie was... something with Dreyfuss where a stained-glass knight tries to kill him.
I'm guessing as render farm power increases and modeling skill does the same, we're going to see uber-polygonal cgi, with cgi cast members and sets and what not.
And we might possibly go to voxels, in the next 3-ish years. If you don't know, voxels are essentially 3-D pixels. Essentially. Basically, the texture map becomes the model, so, in a sense, you get super-detail.

My signature is slightly better than yours.

maybe real-time broadcasting and rendering?
I know some doonsberry (or however the hell you spell it) boradcasted a live real-time rendered thing...
I have no idea what the advantages are by doing this....
yeah! Voxels are cool.......what about Texels? |

Thanks for the suggestions. I�ll look up all of them. I�m still at the first stage here, scrapping together info from wherever but this has given me a real boost - impaler that voxel thing sounds reallly cool, I'll definitely follow that up Cheers!

(i�ll never have enogh info - so just put all you want in!)
